Sure... there are several "gotchas"... 

- - You want in your /etc/pam.d/test-pam_bioapi: 

auth required pam_bioapi.so {5550454b-2054-464d-2f45-535320425350} /etc/bioapi/

The stuff in the {} is the identifier for the fingerprint reader. The example
has the one for the regular password interface. 

the /etc/bioapi dir is where I have it looking for the files (I
thought /etc/bioapi1.10/pam was a bit weird. ;) 

- - You want the pam_bioapi module in /etc/security/pam_bioapi.so

- - You want to make a directory called: 

/etc/bioapi/"{5550454b-2054-464d-2f45-535320425350}"

- - You want to put the username.bir file you made with the bioapi
Sample executable for your user in that directory from the last step. 

- - At this point it should work for root. Try
'./test_verify-pam_bioapi username' 

- - In order to make it work for users, you have to do these things: 

http://linuxbiometrics.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=80&forum=1&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&start=10

It should work then. :) 
Good luck.
